Jens Castrop is a young German defender who progressed from 1. FC Nürnberg to Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he has been working his way into a Bundesliga squad with a strong tradition of developing technically gifted defenders. At 22, the left-footed centre-back or fullback is still establishing himself at the top level of German club football, but his inclusion in Germany's World Cup considerations reflects the national team's willingness to look at emerging Bundesliga talent. His ability to play out from the back suits the possession-based style Julian Nagelsmann has built with the German national team.
